Saved By Grace

 Saved By Grace

If I were saved by singing;

A melody in tune.
Or by running in a race;
From midnight until noon.

If I stood up to a giant;
That was too big for me.
Or climbed the highest mountain;
That echoed Calvary;

If I were saved by good taste;
Or by a pretty face.
Or I were saved by good works;
It would not be of grace.

We are saved by grace through faith;
Not of works we have sown.
But by his most precious blood;
Through Christ Jesus alone.

It's good to give to the poor;
Be kind to a needy soul.
To offer a helping hand;
These are all worthy goals.

If I were saved by sharing;
Or washing dirty feet.
Or very particular;
And liked everything neat.

If I were saved by talent;
Or someone's sweet  embrace.
If  I were saved by good works;
It would not be of grace.

We are saved by grace through faith;
Not of works we have sown.
But by his most precious blood;
Through Christ  Jesus alone.
